Strange story this - given TMac looked like he was pretty well right already just before Xmas.

Melbourne veteran Tom McDonald closes on full fitness

And???

So strange that Tmac is AGAIN like prior to 2021 doing everything he can to be his best in 2023 to help win another flag!!

Really strange this??? Amazing Well done Tmac!

Actually think BBB is alot better once the ball hits the ground than many give him credit for.  Yes he looks awkward, but in my view he has brilliant footy sense that means even when he misses the mark, he knows where to go to put himself in dangerous positions to stay in the contest and be useful option in chains that end up in goals, whether he's the one kicking them or some deft tap ons to others.  Don't think he would have been the leading goal kicker in the league over a period of 3 years if he was a one trick pony and couldn't do stuff off the ground.  I also think he's an absolute asset and great teacher for guys like JVR in this respect.

Fully agree RG

Potential hammy.

 

[DeelightfulPlay 2,543]

And just like that, found my MFCSS again!

[Demon Disciple 12,064]

20 days into the new year…………….sounds about right 😩

[Tough Kent 2,137]

I watched Max chase someone (I can't remember who) flat out for about 40 meters on the grandstand wing. The coaches applauded his effort. It was in the second half and was a huge effort. I wonder if that's what caused the tightness?

[DeeSpencer 25,468]

No update on Lever, or J Smith, or anyone else missing training but an immediate press release for Gawn? For an injury (if conventional) that will be healed well before round 1.

I’m worried that it’s a big hammy.

[JV7 2,350]

Fingers crossed it’s not the hammy he torn badly a couple of years back... Yeah it’s seems only Jan 20th not biggie but missing a minimum of 3-4 weeks at this time of year is a [censored] time. Playing catch up for the first part of the season. 

[BDA 22,735]

Not ideal but he will have time to recover by Rd 1. Hopefully not a bad hammy

[Great Northern Summer 708]

Grundy must just come in handy after all (to all those doubters)

If it’s a bad hammie, like real bad… having Grundy and Schache might help a few with MFCSS.

Nothing helps them, they only see the negative 

[Demonstone 22,315]

I can't imagine he'd ever walk again, let alone play football.

[Gator 17,278]

I saw Gawn run off.  He ran at a good pace without showing discomfort.

I'd be shocked if it's a bad hamstring considering how he left the field.  I'm guessing a minor twinge or a regulation 21 day recovery.

[daisycutter 29,604]

could this be the end of his career? 🥵

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,068]

He can regain any lost conditioning by lining up in the goal square for a month or so... Cue sound of fullbacks' knees knocking (each other, not Max's back).

@Gator, thanks for that. Though I do recall Stephen May came off pretty comfortably with what proved to be somewhat spectacular! (though somewhat short of the leg injury a first glance at your avatar suggested to me!)

[daisycutter 29,604]

and there goes the premiership window

[BDA 22,735]

[Jaded No More 68,867]

The press release is the only reason I am panicking. Why even mention it when the season is still far enough away that a regulation hammy will be well healed in time for round 1? 

[dl4e 5,851]

For gods sake where is the Priest.

Otherwise a journo goes with it first and makes it sound a lot worse.

THE SKY IS FALLING, WASH RINSE REPEAT!

NO PROBLEM!!!😉

[daisycutter 29,604]

my understanding is hamstring injury time is related to age of player and size of hamstring.

given it's maxxy (whose hamstring is longer than my whole body) this could take years to heal 🥵

Yep. Like it or not the name Max Gawn is just about our main click bait
